Following the important issue of PFAS in Maine? Trump's DOD pushes back timeline to deal with PFAS cleanup at 13 Maine sites. Maine was first in the nation with a comprehensive approach to product bans, farmer assistance, and reporting, setting a benchmark for tackling PFAS. #Maine #PFAS

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

The USPS posting a NINE BILLION DOLLAR LOSS!!! sounds terrible. Certainly worse than if you said "USPS costs thirty dollars per person per year" even though that means the same thing and more accurately describes a government service

Maine consistently ranks among the nation's leaders in voter turnout & strong civic participation. The Guardian wants to hear from those of us motivated to organize, protest or become more involved this year; to tell our stories & share ways that individuals have initiated movements. #MEpolitics

In the Rangeley Lakes region of western Maine, an ambitious effort is underway to conserve tens of thousands of acres in historic #Wabanaki territory. The Magalloway Conservation Initiative aims to safeguard woods and wildlife while also protecting public access to the region. #Maine #conservation

Sunny, low 40s, breezy/gusty. It's a sparkling autumn day, Mainers! WE are the many, they are the few. Stay positive! =============== MAINE RESISTANCE TUE, NOV 18, 2025 =============== #NonViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST REPOST & SHARE! Updated NOV 18, 6:10AM #Maine #MEpolitics p2/3

I think Americans are realizing that democracy is a participation sport, and the the government is ours if we want it to be. I feel like we got complacent and hoped some other third party would do the work for us. Seems like we have to learn that lesson every generation.

Another beautiful & sparkly autumn day, Mainers! Sunny, 43º, calm wind. There's a LOT going on today - check all 6pgs! =============== MAINE RESISTANCE SAT, NOV 15, 2025 =============== #NonViolenceIsPower #EveryEffortCounts #RESIST REPOST & SHARE! Updated NOV 15, 5:45AM #Maine #MEpolitics pg1/6

Starbucks Workers United, as of 3 hours ago, is officially ON STRIKE. They want to tell supporters nationwide: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS at any location, today and beyond, while workers are on ULP strike.

There is no Dem who thinks that Schumer voting No washes his hands of it. He is the captain of the ship and owns the process and end result. If he can’t run the team, then someone else needs to. Hopefully the other Dem senators understand the mood of the voters. If not, you will.

🚨I had a grocery list ready to go. I have to get my food delivered. I just spent 1/2 my months worth of SNAP benefits (of course it does NOT help when orange juice is ALMOST $7). But my UNDERSTANDING is that they CANNOT take back your SNAP benefits if you SPEND them. But they CAN from your account.🚨

YES YOU SHOULD VOTE IN LOCAL ELECTIONS TOMORROW EVEN IF MAMDANI IS NOT ON THE BALLOT WHERE YOU LIVE

Teen Vogue did some great journalism around immigration detention and enforcement. Sounds like corporate has now killed that off. The media landscape shrinks even further.

...and less than 24 hours later Condé Nast has fired Lex and the rest of the Teen Vogue political desk, even as stories like this were bringing huge numbers of readers to the site

=============== MAINE – FOOD MAP =============== SNAP Relief may be coming, though remains to be seen how far it'll go. There are hungry Mainers, too, who don't qualify for SNAP, were just laid off, or because their citizenship is stalled. Click below for food sources.

Why Cash Donations Help Food Banks More: - We can turn a donated dollar into more meals - Donations build healthier communities - We use funds to combat food waste - Not all food banks have the capacity for large food donations Flesh out these points here: www.feedingamerica.org/hunger-blog/...

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live. Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps: * Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled * Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

#SaveMaineAbsenteeVoting #VoteNOon1 Here's the list of events for the big weekend push. Go here for the webpage with live links and scroll down a bit: saveabsentee.me/events/

It's been 33 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress. Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in.

This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

🚨BREAKING: A federal judge in Texas dismissed a GOP lawsuit against California’s new congressional redistricting plan ruling that the plaintiff, Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas), had no right to sue over another state’s election laws. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

============= NO on Question 1 ============= Not sure about upcoming ballot questions? The GOP (w/Leonard Leo) backed ballot measure, if passed, would radically restrict voting in Maine. 40% of Mainers & 60% of Maine seniors depend on mail voting. Do not let this measure pass. #NoOn1 #MEpolitics

btw if you care about the senate race (from any direction) you should be worried about this. it will make voting here much harder. if you're in maine sign up for a gotv canvass shift at saveabsentee.me/events/ or if you're out of state maine dems are running phonebanks www.mobilize.us/mainedems/

trump is demolishing our national symbols and selling the country for scrap to his corrupt donors

I'm not sure you can get more marie antoinette than taking away food stamps before thanksgiving while you build a gold and marble dance hall so the other crooks can bring bribe you over a badly-cooked (argentinian) steak

Take away the Voting Rights Act and Jim Crow comes roaring back. This has always been why Chief Justice John Roberts wants to take away the Voting Rights Act

North Carolina moved closer Tuesday to dismantling a historically Black congressional district in a move one of its former representatives described as “blatant discrimination.” www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

ICE fired shots again, hitting a civilian and a U.S. marshal. DHS, once again, is claiming the man rammed ICE with his car. Let’s see how long before that version of events unravels. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

extremely nice to have rekindled a small amount of optimism and instantly have it ground into the dirt

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

After hours of oral argument last week in Callais v. Louisiana, it’s clear that the Supreme Court is ready to decimate what’s left of the Voting Rights Act, making it much easier for states to get away with racial discrimination in voting. https://bit.ly/4nWYr4A

🚨 NEWS: Colombian President Gustavo Petro accuses U.S. government officials of murder and violating Colombia’s sovereignty and says the Trump-ordered strike of a boat in the Caribbean killed a fisherman named Alejandro Carranza.

“Levin [from indivisible.org ] noted that authoritarian regimes fear mass organizing and peaceful protest because they reveal a regime’s unpopularity and show that it is losing its grip on power.” @hcrichardson.bsky.social #NoKings #HoldTheLine #TogetherWeCan Join us on Saturday!

Chris Murphy: "This is a country that's falling apart because Trump is in the middle of an authoritarian takeover. We're not on the verge of an authoritarian takeover. We're in the middle of it ... I have no moral obligation to vote for a budget that literally funds the destruction of our democracy"
